Tumour metabolism

DNA errors in the cell’s energy ‘factories’ increases the chances of survival for people with bowel cancer, according to a new study.

We tackle the myth that sugar ‘feeds’ cancer cells, and explore how the amount of sugar in our diets is cause for concern due to obesity.

Our scientists are using hydrogels to understand more about how pancreatic cancer cells spread.

To celebrate British Science Week 2020, we spoke to 3 researchers with vastly different science experience.

Lab-grown cells live on liquid food called cell culture media. But off-the-shelf recipes could be skewing experiments, posing a challenge for cancer research.

Different types of brain tumours may use strikingly similar approaches to generate and use energy to survive in the brain.

Our researchers in Glasgow might have found a way to shut down certain cancer cells’ fuel supply with a specially designed diet.

Combining new ways to measure molecules could lead to the most accurate picture of tumours ever created. We explore the science behind the approach.

We’re announcing the first winners of our most ambitious science funding awarding ever: The Grand Challenge

What do you get when you combine scientists, a ‘Dragon’s Den’-style pitch, and £200,000 to fund cancer research?
